    Back on track after Japan caused a slight blip in my predictions.

    This one isn't looking so bad, either! 🙂

    Mainly, though, I'm thinking/hoping that Hansen has timed our run right with the dual playmakers and we're going to see it come to full fruition. At some point soon, Mo'unga is going to have his international "arrival" and there will be bunch of overseas journos shaking their heads at how we've pulled another diamond from our ass, so to speak. 🙂 Just hope it's during this tournament!

      @canefan Though I suspect if DMac had stayed fit, Mo'unga would have been a bit part player.

          @canefan No doubt!

          Be interesting to see where DMac fits in next year. There's quite a crowd in the outside backs.

            It is a testament to our strength that a guy who was in the team a year ago can be out just like that, purely because another guy stepped up and was that much better

              Always sliding doors, people sometimes forget that BB was having a pretty average season pre the Wales series in 2016.

                @Chris-B I expect BB would have worn the 10 jersey too with D-Mac about.

                  @taniwharugby Yep - me too.

                  Richie probably would have made the squad, so Jordie (or BFA) would have been watching it on TV.

                    I noticed Ireland trying to pull a similar trick the England’s one at Twickers by reversing direction and catching the 15 out of position. BB got just as sucked in as DMac did but luckily the Irish screwed up getting the ball wide.

                        I assume the refs will be named tomorrow. Any predictions?

                        I'm going Garces for the final and Barnes for the other game.

                        Watson is the only ref who has officiated in 2 finals so Owens could get a parting gift.

                          Owens for the final. Barnes for the other.

                          Pepyer to be allowed back at a Touch Judge for the 3rd/4th game.

                            Garces should be nowhere near the Final.

                                      I assume the refs will be named tomorrow. Any predictions?

                                      I'm going Garces for the final and Barnes for the other game.

                                      Watson is the only ref who has officiated in 2 finals so Owens could get a parting gift.

                                      Garces should be nowhere near the Final.

                                      Are the Welsh bitter at Garces?

                                      Genuine question.

                                      I am.

                                      Missed so much obvious stuff - offside, ruck, forward passes - and not so obvious stuff - foul play.
